This citation summarizes a one-page announcement of technology available for utilization. A testing machine subjects structural panels to three simultaneous stresses: torsion, compression along the torsion axis, and compression along an orthogonal axis. The machine is suitable ofr testing other large panels, such as those for aircraft, lightweight trucks, buses, and railroad cars. The testing machine is used to determine the best relationship between the stiffener dimensions and the panel skin thickness. ...FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: Contact: Director, Technology Transfer Division, P.O.
